Name provided for 20-something, upper middle class, young professional or graduate student who also "balls". This is different from someone who is "preppy" or a "young trendy professional" or "hipster" in that his or her appreciation for hip hop culture contributes to his or her overall personality, behavioral traits, and personal associations. There has been a rise in "White collar ballers" in recent years, as many students in the "fraternity culture" have drifted from the "good ol boy" and "country music" loving ways of the past, to a greater appreciation not only for hip hop, but its culture, and contribution to the American Zeitgeist.
